How To Make This Year Happier – Prof. Cassie Holmes

Get this year off to a great start with Prof. Cassie Holmes sharing new ideas for how to use your time well and really thrive in 2025.

How can we use our time wisely and be happier in 2025?

Time is our most precious resource. We all have just 24 hours a day but our culture glorifies being busy and leaves us feeling like we never have enough. We can’t add more hours to the day, so how can we experience lives that are not just full, but also fulfilling?

At this special event Professor Cassie Holmes will explain how we can immediately improve life by changing how we perceive and invest our time. She will share new insights and tools to help you spend your time wisely, avoid distractions, create more joyful moments, build a purposeful schedule and look back without regrets.

Cassie’s ground-breaking research will help you feel less overwhelmed, more present and more satisfied with your life overall. And she’ll explain how it all starts by transforming just one hour into what she calls a “happier hour”.

So join us and get 2025 off to a positive start with practical, science-based advice to live better. By investing in what really matters, you can change your life for the better.

The event will take place on Zoom at 7pm London time .
